The Nordstrom Winter Sale Is So Good—I Love These 30 Basics the Best

Investing in clothing can be quite costly, especially with the perpetually increasing cost of living. I usually spend hours every week browsing popular retailers’ websites in search of the best of the best deals online. When I caught wind of Nordstrom’s Winter Sale extravaganza, I had to dive deep into all the offerings in order to uncover some amazing finds. During my search, it became pretty clear that Nordstrom has so many deeply discounted simple yet chic basics and staples. If you could use a few wardrobe building blocks, hurry and save up to 50% off through February 20.
Keep scrolling to find some of the best basics that I handpicked for you. From creamy white knits and multiuse blouses and pants to beautiful shoes that go with everything, shop fun and useful fashion finds for a fraction of the regular cost. If something catches your eye, be sure to snag it up quickly because there’s no guarantee it’ll be in stock for long.
